# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine unsweetened applesauce, milk, eggs, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully blended and smooth.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are incorporated and a uniform batter forms.
05 - Gently fold in your choice of blueberries, diced apples, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or dried fruit until evenly distributed.
06 - Divide the oatmeal mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
07 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the cups are set and lightly golden on top. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
08 - Transfer the oatmeal cups to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before adding toppings.
09 - In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup until well combined and smooth.
10 - Top each cooled oatmeal cup with a spoonful of sweetened Greek yogurt. Garnish with fresh berries or sliced fruit before serving.
